Lambies Lost Doo

When you look at the attendances outside Div 1 and now some teams like Cowdenbeath and Dumbarton it really does show that the league needs reorganised. 42 senior teams is ridiculous. Junior teams get bigger crowds than most Div 2 and 3 teams.

!!! I know they are a smaller club and part-time but Dumbarton is just down the road. You would think people would use it as an excuse to get down to Glasgow, slightly sexist but the lady can go to the shops and the bloke to the football with the kids.

That doesn't wash with me these days. It's used as an excuse for everything. Go down Buchanan Street and shops are mobbed. Pubs and restaurants are stowed out. The jakies are still have a booze up in the less salubrious parts of Glagsow. People are still throwing their money around on holidays and ipads and fancy gear from "Cruise". The economy cannot be blamed.

If we are not getting 1000 season tickets that is pretty poor especially after all the outrage and potential boycott over Rangers in Div 1.

I like the poster. It's good to have positivity and a feel good factor. You see Glasgow Rugby highlighting their successes so why can't we? Ignore the doom mongers. People talk about advertising the game and getting more people along. The posters are good and have been created to download. Then it's time for fans to download them and put them up in their local pub, place of work, kids school, shop etc and advertise the game. It's the simplest, cheapest and probably most effective way of getting people along. People like to see a winning team.

Just wanted to say thanks to all who contributed and I really hope I have captured everyone who gave some money for the sponsorship. The List of Legends is below in no particular order. stolenscone, twinny, steelie_toes, belfastjag, Sam Leitch Loyal, stillresigned, east lothian jag, amsterdam jag, Muscat Jag, El Turko, JockinOz, deasach, Shuggie, Fawlty Towers, Derby Jag, Wiltshire Jag, Jaggernaut, German Jag, almacd.

Great poster! If anyone wants a pub with real ale Curlers has been done up and they have turfed out the students! 3 or 4 guest ales with lots of choice for the regular taps. Food looks good too.

Queens Park v Thistle Challenge Cup August 2012

We now have the money raised but even better we have enough money for 2 pairs of boots after a very generous donation from a person who wishes to remain anonymous put in £140! We have raised an additional £240 for the club - £570 overall. Currently the only 2 players left for boots are Brad Halsman and Ryan Scully. There are options of shorts as well but I think a signed pair of (clean) boots at the end of the season are better than a pair of shorts. Let me know if anyone has any objections but currently we will have Nomads name on David Rowsons Away Top and 2 pairs of boots. That gives people 3 chances to win something at end of year. Big well done and big thanks to all who donated.

Never understood why people take the hump with Pressley. He is a passionate manager. I like his brown shoes. His team try to play football on the deck and he gives youth a chance. I'm all for guys like him and MacNamara who are pragmatic and modern type of young manager.

Hi All - the pledges which flooded in have now became a trickle. Thistle already have £330 extra and David Rowson has a sponsor for his Away top. If anyone wants to contribute to the attempt to sponsor some boots then please PM for details. If we don't raise the full amount then it will be down to a pop quiz on what we do with it. I'm thinking a small donation to One Thistle to help with any of their attempts but it will be down to the majority. Anyway one final push to new and current donors. PM me for my paypal details to give you the chance to win David Rowsons Away top and a pair of players boots TBD. £10 = one draw.

The Young Supporters created the name you old fogeys. Get back to your record players, soda streams and flares. Good work to the people who are pushing this on. little_miss_jag you remind me of the "Chewin The Fat" sketch with the woman taxi despatcher. Every silver lining has a cloud.

In fairness there is not much the club could do - put it on the official website (which Thistle fans read), advertising costs money so why bother. It's for the fans to do. Fans buy the tickets and bring others along. We play the biggest part.

Currently £50 short

Yeah bad maths. We are £60 away. You don't need to be a Nomad supporter. Anyone from the board can contribute. PM for details!

Yes sorry getting my numbers mixed up Top £275 + VAT of £55 = £330 Boots £100 + VAT of £20 = £120. So we need £450. Now we have £390 with Muscat Jag donation so £60 to go.

Under the "Nomads" banner we have collectively raised enough money to sponsor David Rowsons Away top. We had a bit more money left over so pushed to sponsor some boots. We are currently only £30 away from getting enough to reach our target so if anyone would like to donate then please PM for details. Boot available are Brad Halsman, Aaron Muirhead, Ryan Scully, Every £10 entry will give the contributor 1 entry to win the top or the boots at the end of the season so if you were to put in say £30 then you will get 3 chances of 2 great prizes. With the increase in season ticket sales, the return of MacB as sponsor and the take up of strip and boot sponsorship it would be great to get another player sponsored and fill those empty spaces you see in the match program.

Thanks mate although we can't forget the 20% VAT so we need £120. £30 to go.

£380

Looks like Rowson is the winner. I'll get it sorted with the club today. Still hoping we can get some boots and again that will be put to the vote if we raise enough. Thanks to everyone who contributed, there were others who put money in who are not below. Rowson - 7 (LLD, Shuggie, Fawlty Towers, Steelie Toes, stillresigned, Jaggernaut, Muscat Jag) Muirhead - 2 (German Jag, Wiltshire Jag) Jackie Mac - 1 (Derby Jag) Craigen - 1 (deasach) Halsman - 1 (almacd) Scully - 1 (twinny)

Hi All - I have had a couple more promises of money so it looks like we can make the boots so if anyone was thinking about contributing but was put off as we had the money for the Away Top then please don't let that put you off. PM for my paypal details to send money.

Rowson - 6 (LLD, Shuggie, Fawlty Towers, Steelie Toes, stillresigned, Jaggernaut) Muirhead - 2 (German Jag, Wiltshire Jag) Jackie Mac - 1 (Derby Jag) Craigen - 1 (deasach) Halsman - 1 (almacd)

Rowson - 3 (LLD, Shuggie, Fawlty Towers) Muirhead - 2 (German Jag, Wiltshire Jag) Jackie Mac - 1 (Derby Jag) Craigen - 1 (deasach) Halsman - 1 (almacd)

Rangers could show all their away games live and the attendances minus Queens Park would be a sell out. They are definitely worth some money for their fans to watch in the prison or the zoo.

Bump for extra donations from and and existing to get a pair of boots and for those who have payed already to vote on the player shirt to sponsor here http://www.wearethis...sorship-201213/
